Yosemite Heating my MBP RETINA 15 2014.

Hi,
After upgrading my 2014 MBP retina 15" it is starting to get really hot when I use it. I usually have it on my lab browsing safari but it gets uncomfortably hot after the latest update! Anyone experienced the same problem ? The battery is also getting killed really fast!

thk for your support ，but it still 2.3f32、、、、、、、

MBP retina 13' 2014 trackpad question ("issue")

I bought this thing last B.friday and since day one (Mavericks. now Yosemite) when I move the cursor it takes like 0.5 seconds to respond causing a lag. After I first touch the trackpad, and this lag happend, everything works alright, the cursor moves flawlessly... the problem occurs only as soon as I move the cursor for the first time.
Hope this makes sence... any ideas? thanks in advance.

Return it and get another problem free one.
Best.

Installed Yosemite - Now 13 MBP Retina runs hot...

Curious if anyone else is noticing this?
I did the upgrade install and it went smoothly. Now, however there is heat generated at the bottom of the laptop.
That was the one of the things I always loved about this machine - there was NEVER any heat at all (very uncommon for laptops).
I've completely shutdown and brought back up (booting seem faster now btw) only to find the machine running warm again after a few mins. Activity monitor shows nothing strange... and I have no other apps running during testing.. just the OS itself.
Thanks for anyone else's experiences.

It was an upgrade install over Mavericks. It certainly should not persist more than a few hours at most. Check Activity Monitor for the presence of any obviously burdensome processes.
If nothing obvious appears, the usual next step is an SMC reset. Read all the steps including the ones preceding it, which may alleviate the problem.
Before Resetting the SMC
Try each of the following steps in this order before you reset the SMC. Test the issue after completing each troubleshooting step to determine if the issue still occurs.
Press Command + Option + Escape to force quit any application that is not responding.
Put your Mac to sleep by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Sleep. Wake the computer after it has gone to sleep.
Restart your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Restart.
Shut down your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Shut Down.
Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if it's not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time. The power adapter indicator light may cycle off / on once.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.

Mbp retina mid 2014 lag

I Just bought my new MacBook Pro retina 15 inch that came out last month n I realise it's kinda leggy in expose and when switching through windows. Otherwise srolling and hd video are ver smooth. I'm just wondering if that's normal or mine a defeat .

What you're experiencing isn't normal. There should be no 'lag' on a new machine at all. If I were you (and I don't know where in the world you might be!) I would take the machine to your local Apple Store or an AASP and have your machine tested. ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP before taking your machine in for service (Most commonly used backup methods)! The tech may want to erase your boot storage and re-install OS X.
Good luck,
Clinton

MBP retina + Yosemite + MAGSAFE CONNECTED = freeze and spinning ball!!

I'm really losing my mind...
Friday I finally installed Yosemite 10.10 on my mbp retina. At the beginning everything was perfect, then new updates like iphoto and imovie started to pop up so I decided to download them. At some point of the download the spinning ball appeared but didn't want to go away, even after 5 minutes. I couldn't use my macbook so I decided to force shut down.
After restarting I could log in, but as soon as I moved the cursor to the dock and clicked on the apps I needed to open (Mail and Chorme) everything froze and the spinning ball appeared again.
Force shut down again.
The magsafe was connected at all time.
Then I decided to go to the Apple Store to solve the problem. Once I explained the problem to the guy and turned on the macbook in front of him, everything started to work again perfectly.
I looked like a freaking idiot.
He had no explanation, he just told me to use time machine to backup my data and bring the macbook there in case the issue would appear again.
Yes I tried all the possible procedures pressing the keys when the macbook is turned on. (I kept for last the pram reset and smc reset)
Nothing.
Then this morning I realized the freezing at startup would occur only if the magsafe was connected!!! This is also why at the Apple store there was no problem at startup....no magsafe connected. I tried a few times to use the macbook normally with the battery (even now that I'm writing), and it's working perfectly!! But as soon as I connect the magsafe, go to the dock to open apps or simply click on the google chrome tabs to type in a website, everything starts to freeze again and the spinning ball stays there indefinitely.
I also tried the utility disc (in normal and safe mode). It says everything is ok.
I even tried to delete completely iphoto, imovie and caffeine and to reinstall Yosemite.
I don't want to go to the Apple Store now because it's full of people (iphone 6 just got released here in China).
Could someone help me understand what is the problem??
Thank you for all the help you can provide

Yesterday it started to do the same even with the battery! So it was impossible for me to use it. I went to the apple store...they didn't know what to tell me since the system just got released.
They ran a few tests on my macbook and it showed that it wasn't an hardware issue, it was the software. So they wanted to do a backup of my data (from one of their macbooks) but couldn't because somehow there was a password for Firevault. I never put it!! And it's not the same I always choose for my system.
Result? They had to erase everything (I'm angry because I lost a lot of my work files) and now I'm back to Mavericks 10.9.5 and I have no idea when I'll decide to update again to Yosemite.
Since Steve Jobs passed away Apple is not the same.
My girlfriend has an iphone 5, she installed IOS 8 and everything is slow as ****. Seriously.
It's really disappointing and I (we) don't trust Apple anymore.

MBP Retina running warm with Yosemite....

My MBP retina display is running warm since installing Yosemite. I also get an occasions "not-responding" items in red on my activity monitor. I can close them but they come back every once in a while.
A little background: I had Yosemite uninstalled and reinstalled to try and fix the issue, but it came back after having the Apple guys reinstall Yosemite.
The computer isn't really hot, but I can hear the fans on low, which I never heard before. Previously, I couldn't hear the fans at all unless I was stressing the computer out.
Any ideas? I can post a picture of the Activity Monitor with the items in red. I'll be heading into Apple if I can't figure out what's wrong. Thanks for any help ahead of time.
Justin

Thanks for the tip. I entered the command and it states: Processes at 158 total, 4 running, 2 stuck, 152 sleeping, 887 threads. Load Average 1.18, 1.37, 1.32. CPU Usage 2.31% user, 4.18% sys, 93.7% idle. Running at the same temps as shown above. I reset PRAM, restrated computer, etc. Unless I only have one window open doing one thing, it gets very warm per the temps noted in my original post.

MBP Retina OS X Yosemite has distorted display when connected to Epson projector. How do I fix this?

MBP Retina OS X Yosemite has distorted display when connected to Epson projector. How do I fix this?

Hello ATLawson,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that the display, after connecting to a projector, does not have the image quality you would expect. There may be a few different troubleshooting steps I would recommend in this situation. To begin troubleshooting, I would suggest reading over and working through the information in the attached article.

USB microphone not recognized by mbp, retina, late 2013, 10.10.1 Yosemite.

I bought a Behringer Xenyx302 USB preamp to connect a microphone to my mbp. The device is not recognized by MacOS. Preferences / Sound / Input only lists the internal microphone. Based on other posts and documentation, I should see and entry for "USB microphone" or something like that.
The preamp has a headset jack. I can hear the microphone working through that, so I know the mic works.
Behringer doc says that no drivers or software are required for MacOS. 15" mbp, retina, late 2013, 10.10.1 Yosemite
Any suggestions?

Yes I have checked Parallels config along with Parallels support. Also on the mac side it also does not see or recognize USB 2 devices
any other thing to try?

MBP Retina Firmware Password Reset

I purchased a MBP Retina 13.3/2.5/8GB/128GB back in Nov 2012 and all was fine.
Last year I installed Orbicule Undercover software, in case it got lost & stolen and it recommended I set a Firmware Password, which I did and now I have forgotten that password.
I want to reset my MBP but without the firmware password I am completely locked out at the reset screen.
It works fine day to day, and I know the password to lock & unlock features or settings, etc.
It is running the latest operating System, Yosemite. I have had no trouble upgrading the OS System as they have been made available.
Many post say to take the MBP to an Apple Store so they can reset it with a special CD/DVD, only my MBP has no optical drive.
Clearly it is out of warranty coverage, as I did not purchase the extended warranty.
I don't have the skills to take the thing apart, my past history with old window based laptops is not good! (Although I did have more parts left over when I was done)
Does anyone know if I schedule a Genius Bar appointment, if they can help me? And the approximate cost they would charge me??
I have my original receipt & packaging to show that it is mine, and not a stolen unit.
Any Advice or information on the above questions will be gratefully received!!!

You probably bought a Mac that was stolen. I sure hope a 2011 model, whether the Early version or the Late version (There was no MID 2011 model), would certainly sell for much more than $515. That should of been your first clue there was something up with this noteboook and the seller.
Apple can remove the firmware password but only for the rightful owner.
The best thing you can do is take back into an Apple store and ask them to look up the serial number to find the original owner, if possible, and see if there is any contact info for them and return that system to them. Yes you would still be out the $515 but you would be doinig the right thing. Do the right thing and the right thing happen.

MacBook Pro Retina (mid 2014) failing Memtest ?

Hi !
I'm experiencing issues with my MB pro retina mid 2014 since I have it (1 month now) : kernel panic, reboots, freeze, and so on. As I have a little experience with computers, I thought it sound like a memory issue. So I ran memtest (from USB stick, and from the OS) after a complete reinstall (from the network).
Now, memtest from USB stick shows 10560 errors and freezes the computeur after 1h30. Memtest from the OS shows that :

*** Memory Test Failed *** Please check transcript for details.

I run the global Apple Hardware test that says there is probably an issue with a memory module.
Here's my trouble : I went to my nearest Apple Premium reseller, the tech guy says my Macbook has no issue, and is in perfect condition... he just made a test like in the terminal : yes something, to "stress" the memory. He says memtest isn't edited by Apple and its results are not relevant, and AHT is just a simple user diagnostic tool, but it's not relevant neither...
But I'm pretty sure AHT AND memtest can't be wrong ? What can I do ?

I have the same problem with MBP 15 retina 2013 late... I think something goes wrong.... ((((

A vote for the MBP Retina

For quite a few months I monitored these forums to see how the new retina MBP would go over. I do know that forums are usually the places were people with problems appear. Rarely do you get people showing up and saying everything is just great. So you need to take these forums with a grain of salt and use them to guide your decision making.
So I followed the heat thread, the burn-in thread and a number of others.
I'm a programmer by trade. I use VMWare Fusion every day and I often need tons of RAM. Flash disk is also almost required these days as I need to switch between things quite quickly. So when the retina MBP was introduced my drool production went up about a thousand fold!   I've been working on the following models:
A 2008 MBP pro 17" with a core2duo, 4gb RAM and a 256gb drive
Sold that and got:
A 2010 MBP pro, high-res 15" display core i7 with 8gb of RAM.
In some ways the 2010 MBP was a dream machine. The 8gb of RAM made it possible for me to open 2-3 VMs under Fusion and the high-res display made up for the loss of the 2 inches of display real estate when stepping down from the 17".
The battery life on the 2010 sucked. I NEVER got more than a couple of hours out of it.   I also noticed that even after a nice fresh clean Lion install with few programs and processes the processors worked hard. This machine got hot and burned through battery power like a million candle spot light. Still it was a great machine and I did millions of lines of code on that machine.
But since the introduction of the retina MBP with its 16gb of RAM and the big flash disk I've been making a mess of my desk whenever I visit Apple's web page. I was trying to temper that with a belief that as a first gen re-work it is bound to have some issues. So I'd go over to BestBuy and play with the machines there. I often got strange looks from the Apple Best Buy guy and I think he sort of came not to like me because unlike most of his customers I was in the system prefs changing settings playing with terminal windows and I don't think he appreciated what I was doing. I didn't care. I wanted to get a feel for the machine.
So last month I made a pitch to my boss to let me do an upgrade. He finally relented and about 2 weeks ago I placed my order. My MBP retina arrived on Monday. So right off the bat I need to qualify my statements here with the fact that I've only had mine about 3 days. Certainly not long enough to find all of the problems. But here is my impression since getting this machine.
I opted for the 15" retina, 2.6gHz, 16gb RAM, 768 Flash Drive.
When I received the unit on Monday I loaded it up with my editors, compilers, programs from the AppStore, music, etc.   Of my 768 I'm down to about 210gb free which is plenty. I was expecting to use more.
The first thing I must confess about this new machine is how quiet the processors are. I installed iStat Menus which I like so I can monitor how my MBP is doing. With my 2010 just running a single VMWare Fusion VM had the processor at about 30% and the fan running say 3500 RPM. It was hot and noisy. This new machine, as I type this post has two VMs open. A Windows 7 32 bit, and a Windows 7 64 bit. I'm also listening to iTunes, I have mail, google chrome, calendar, contacts and a number of other apps open. As I sit here the CPU activity almost non existent. The rMBP isn't even struggling in the least with this load. In direct comparison my 2010 MBP would have 30-40% CPU load and the fans would be screaming away, not at full bore but really loud. But here I sit with this new machine and it is quiet, only very slightly warm and I'm doing what I "normally" do.
For this alone the upgrade was CLEARLY worth it to me. The computing horsepower in this machine is insane.
My unit came with (heaven forbid) the LG display that everyone in the "burn-in" thread says is HORRIBLE and some of these guys have gone through 5 or 6 replacements to solve their burn in problems. I don't doubt they've had these issues. I don't doubt they exist. I have none of them. This display is freaking amazing!
Now I've heard it said that the IR (image retention, ghosting, burn-in) can take weeks to appear. So I'm not out of the woods yet. But at this point in time the display is simply awesome and with the background I choose I see ZERO ghosting. I'll say it again. This display is freaking awesome!
Now I'm not a graphic artist and I cannot and will not try to tell you if my color point is correct for the white or not. What I can tell you is that this display looks good to me. I can read even the smallest text easily. The clarity is simply amazing. I'm 55 and have certainly reached that age where my eyes work overtime. I wear progressive glasses and I'm not having any trouble at all with the display.
The only thing I could point a finger at is that this new retina display is bounded by a black area that for my eyes is the same color as my background. I've found myself trying to slide windows into that area and being shocked that they are disappearing (because the display physically ends there). This is just something to get used to or I could set my background to be a little lighter. Anyway this is a pretty damned small negative if I must say so.
Ok on heat. As I mentioned above this machine just idles along 99% of the time so there is little heat being produced. I'm not doing nothing either. In my Windows 7 VMs I'm running compilers and when the are cranking on code the Windows CPU is showing 100% while the rMBP registers this as like 5%. Not sure I understand how that is working yet but I see no speed loss in my VM and yet my rMBP is just coasting even though Windows is registering 100% CPU.
The airflow on this new computer is to take air in from the sides and dispense the hot air out a vent in front of the display. I personally think this is a design flaw. I think this may be causing some of the burn in/ghosting issues because the computer is venting hot air right at the display. I personally would have vented it out the back beneath the screen but perhaps the latch as it is designed for the rMBP may make that impossible.
But as an engineer I have an idea for a way to fix the heat on the LCD panel issue. It would not take much to make a small plastic piece that sat in that hinge area and took the outgoing air and sent it to the sides way from the panel. I'm not gonna design this but if the heat really is the issue this simple $2 piece would probably save the panel.
So my take is this:
For me personally and acceptance of anything is a very personal choice, the retina MBP is exactly what Apple bills it to be. The best, more amazing laptop I've ever owned. It is cool (temp wise), fast (amazingly fast), small, thin, light, has an amazing screen visually and I predict this computer will satisfy my needs for quite a few years to come.
I will not berate or downplay the issues some have had. I honestly believe there have been bad retina MBPs. Bad screens. Heat issues. Failures. They happen and those people have suffered and I hope Apple will make it right for them. But I'm one to say that my unit more than satisfies my goals and intents. Like any piece of machinery it has its small issues. I'm sure my screen will have some IR. I'm sure my unit will get hot but so far it doesn't work even 1/4 as hard as my older 2010 MBP.
So my point to everyone is make your own choice. Do not let the threads you see in these forums convince you that your retina MBP will be problem ridden. Just because other people see and are bothered by a problem you might not be and the problem may not exist on your retina MBP.
For me, this machine is simply amazing. I can only hope my panel does not suddenly start to show massive ghosting. I do plan to keep a close eye on that and on the heat. But right now I'm not expecting issues.
Good luck in your purchase and also to those that have purchased and are not satisfied.

I need to add just one more thing and that is on battery life. Last night I sat with the rMBP on my lap installing software, surfing the web, answering emails for close to 4 and 1/2 hours. At the point I took it back to the charger it still was showing a computed battery time remaining of 3.5 hours.
Today I had two VMs open and took the machine of the charger and sat outside with my dogs for about 30 minutes. During this time I was working in both VMs, editing and compiling code. My battery life estimate showed a good solid 4 hours.
This is roughly 6 times greater than what I had with my 2010 MBP and it too had a SSD. I am not sure why but this retina MBP just seems to not work as hard doing anything that caused my 2010 MBP to struggle.
While the battery life is certainly better than I expected it is clear that load can change that very rapidly. So I think I still need to visit clients with an external battery or charger in hand. But I don't think I will be quite so scared that my laptop will simply run out of power before I can even get it plugged in.

Macbook Pro 15" Retina Mid 2014 MOUSE/TRACKPAD LAG. PLEASE HELP!!

Hello,
I just bought a new Macbook Pro OSX Yosemite this week. Retina, 15 inch, Mid 2014. 2.2 GHz i7. 16GB RAM. 256 GB HD. I've been noticing a lag when I use the trackpad and the bluetooth mighty mouse. It seems to happen completely randomly. If I don't use my computer for a long time and then start to use it again it sometimes lags for a second and then works, and then lags again, and on and on...
Sometimes the lags are 2 seconds long and sometimes they're less than 1 second long. It seems my mouse, trackpad AND keyboard are all affected by this problem. I'm pretty upset, seeing as how I paid over 2 grand for this computer. Does anybody have ANY idea at all what is causing this AND what I can do about it?? I'm not a huge computer guy.
The problem doesn't seem big enough to get a whole new computer. It seems like an Apple technician could fix this in 2 seconds. Wouldn't you agree? Please help. Thanks

I have similar problems with a much older system (a late 2008 MacBook Pro). In my case, the problems with BlueTooth peripheral (mainly the Magic Mouse) are almost always associated with TimeMachine back-ups. This is a well known problem in the sense that I have seen posts about it going back to 2011, but I have never seen any specific solutions offered.

Macbook Pro Retina 15" 2014 et Illustrator CC fluidité ??

Bonjour,
Je viens d'acquérir un MBP Retina 15" haut de gamme (i7, 16gb de RAM, 512 SSD, GeForce GT 750M 2gb) avec un système parfaitement propre avec Photoshop et Illustrator CC d'installés. Ce dernier est terriblement saccadé (défilements/navigation/zoom/dézoom), même en créant un nouveau document. En gros, une page blanche, et ça rame. Partout ailleurs, l'ordinateur est une vraie bombe.
J'ai même essayé de formater en réinstallant OSX Yosemite (à jour) et uniquement les deux logiciels de la CC (à jour) et en désactivant le basculement automatique
Étrangement, pour Photoshop, pas de souci de fluidité.
J'ai aussi un iMac 27" non retina et pas de souci particulier sur Illustrator. La version Retina de la CC ne serait-elle pas optimisée ?
Auriez-vous une solution valable et acceptable à ce problème ?
Merci.
EDIT :
J'ai téléchargé une démo d'un programme qui permet d'afficher des résolutions autres que celles du système (switchResX) et j'ai mis mon 15" Retina en 3840x2400px (si si...) et Illustrator est retrouve sa fluidité. C'est donc bien la gestion du HiDPI qui n'est pas optimisé sur Illustrator. Super.
EDIT 2 :
J'ai finalement trouvé d'où venait le problème. C'est lorsque l'on agrandit la taille de la fenêtre de travail. En se mettant en petit, c'est fluide. Plus on l'agrandit, plus ça rame. C'est donc un manque pur et dur d'optimisation car ce n'est pas le fond gris uni du plan de travail qui prend de la ressource.

Thank you, but I read that this only applies to the United States. I live between Morocco and Saudi Arabia and I already went to an Apple authorized dealer in Saudi Arabia for a problem I had with my previous MacBook Pro, and they told him I had to ship it to the US to get repaired, nothing they could do in the country. It's why I have the new retina model, just didn't expect a daily crash. I just hope someone can look at the report and conclude what's wrong with the laptop. I suspected the RAM but the Memory Module parts of the report don't show an error there. So I'm not sure what's wrong.
I would get the 3-year extended warranty if it meant a direct support line but so far it's not activated where I live.

Partitions stuck, cannot edit in anyway (Retina iMac 2014)

I have a Retina Late 2014 iMac
I went to install Windows 8.1 using Bootcamp and run into an error message saying GPT or something along those lines. It wouldn't let me install to the partition Bootcamp had setup. Feeling frustrated and confused I used the Windows 8.1 install to start deleting all the random partitions I could find. Quite oblivious to the fact I was deleting my Fusion drive, recovery and other partitions that are important to my iMac's functioning.
It still wouldn't let me install windows 8.1. I restarted and realised the damage I had caused. Finally I managed to get windows 8.1 to install. But I no longer had a OS X installation.
I followed the instructions here from my other Mac to create a bootable yosemite usb installer and start fresh.
Here my problem starts.
While I'm able to successfully install Yosemite it's no longer using the full 3TB of my fusion drive. It's only using 1TB I allocated it earlier in bootcamp. The remaining 2TB is in a partition called "03".
In Disk Utility from the Yosemite installer, Internet Recovery Installer & within Yosemite itself. They all have the same problem. I'm unable to do anything with those partitions. I wish to make my "Macintosh HD" partition use the full 3TB again.
Or be able to restore my mac as it come from the factory with the partitions set up correctly.
As you can see the + and - buttons are greyed out... the functions I believe I am supposed to use is all greyed out through out all the items. I have tried everything imaginable in Disk Utility from all three places (Yosemite installer, Internet Recovery Installer & within Yosemite itself) with no success.
It appears I have really messed things up.
Any ideas?
thank you very much in advance for helping (:

I think I found the solution.
To anyone else having this problem where Disk Utility won't allow you to start fresh with partitions sometimes.
I used Gparted ( http://gparted.org ) and it managed to help me fix this problem. Now my drive is one partition almost like when it left the factory.
I installed Yosemite onto it and it's working a treat.
